Re: [HOT] Interesting Isochron Map From WHO
Thanks, Andrew. Rafael, I agree it should be tracked. I added it to the media listing here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2014_West_Africa_Ebola_Response Maybe we should edit the main HOT wiki adding a subpage dedicated to strong Use Cases? If so, where is the best place to file it? Maybe it should be Research and Use Cases (new) page as this is definitely something we want to explore.
